We do not fight people, we are fighting with a spirit. That spirit is Mammon which dominates and controls the whole world through the Anglo-American Democratic Capitalist System. It manifests in Humanism and Liberalism, through Democracy, and Capitalism, the Four Evils who enslave the whole of mankind.
Many Christians who should understand the spirit of Mammon, do not.
We expose and fight the spirit of Mammon, and the four evils of Humanism, Liberalism, Democracy and Capitalism.

Giving Up of all One's Self: The Ultimate Test of Faith

Many Christians living in the West are smug in their possessions and wealth. Many pray for prosperity, children's education, health, financial stability and a good family. While these things may not be evil in themselves, it is the motivation behind praying for these things that is wrong. Often, the motive is the attempt to serve mammon, the spirit behind all earthly things, not just money. Jesus made it absolutely clear that no one can serve both God and mammon. A person will love one and hate the other. However, many in the modern church fail to take this literally and even perhaps twist the verse to mean that one can love mammon as long as one uses mammon to glorify God, using 'mammon' to mean money. Indeed, money can be used to buy things that are used to serve God, such as a church building, Bibles and setting up an evangelical radio network. However, this is a very dangerous half-truth. It is not the money that glorifies God, neither is it the things that one does using money that glorifies God. It is the heart right with God that God is after (Matthew 23:27).The attitude of the modern church is that because money can be used sacrificed to serve God, it is not wicked in itself. That is true that money is not wicked in itself, but it is not the sacrifice of money to glorifies God. Rather, it is obedience to God alone.Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey isbetter than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams (1 Samuel 15:22).Since a person can only either love God and hate mammon, or love mammon and hate God, it is absolutely unbiblical to claim that because money can be used to 'good' that there is nothing wrong with accumulating money and earthly things. Accumulating earthly things IS to serve mammon.Jesus did command His followers to "sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys" (Luke 12:33), not just the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:21 as many Christians claim. This was because "for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Luke 12:34). Where one's heart is with earthly things, one will serve earthly things. One will seek for such things as that is where one's treasure is located. Where one's heart is with God, one will serve God. One will seek first the Kingdom of God as there is where one's treasure is located. This is why Jesus commanded His followers to "seek ye first the kingdom of God" (Matthew 6:33). Only when one seeks to serve God first that His righteousness and the material needs will be added onto you (Matthew 6:33). However, many Christians in the mammonised West argue that while one needs to serve God, one also needs to protect and seek one's material needs, in addition to serving God. How can one serve God when one is striving anxiously to serve one's material needs? How? When one seek to serve one's own material needs, one IS in the flesh. Such is selfishness and disobedience. The root of this is anxiety. The root from which anxiety grows is pride in one's own self, which mammon feeds off.

Being anxious is against what Jesus commanded in Matthew 6:25-34. Philippians 4:6 also makes it clear: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Anxiety is unbelief in God, and a lack of trust in God. Anxiety that one clings onto in one's own strength is hostility against God because it shows that one trusts in one's own strength in obtaining material needs. This is indeed the spirit behind capitalism, communism and socialism which are all about obtaining materials needs first and foremost. They are of under the spirit of seeking first the earthly things of this world which will rot away and be eaten by moths. This spirit is the spirit of mammon. None of these 3 major economic ideologies seek after that which is immaterial, but only that which is material.

So, striving after mammon, that is to agonise after it, is the hatred of God as it is the serving of self. People serve mammon through serving themselves. A person cannot love both God and self. A person can only either love God and hate oneself, or love oneself and hate God. To hate oneself in this context does not mean to self-harm, such as by starving oneself, or allowing oneself to be beaten up, or allowing oneself to be manipulated and dominated over by others. No, not at all!

What it means is to give up all of one's interests, possessions, wealth, freewill and everything else that one has. This is to reject mammon and its alluring rewards, and seek to obey God first and foremost. It means to stop being lukewarm (Revelation 3:16) and stop saying to oneself "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing" (Revelation 3:17).

To Christians who say "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing" (Revelation 3:17), Jesus says: "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see" (Revelation 3:18). This is a command for them to buy the riches from Jesus so that one can see one's own sin in serving earthly things. Mammon blinds the eyes of its servants.

Fighting the Four Evils

About Me

We fight the evils of the spirit of Mammon as the Bible commands. One cannot serve God and mammon, one will love one and hate the other. The ultimate battle for every person is between God and mammon. Mammon is evil and will send people to Hell. God can rescue people from going to Hell. God does not want anyone to perish. All have sinned against God, the Creator of the Universe. God is just and so He must punish sin. The penalty is an eternity in Hell. We all deserve it. But God so loved the world that He gave His only Son to die for the sins of the world so that whoever repents and puts their faith in Him shall not perish. That is, if you repent and put your faith in Jesus, the Son of God who died for your sin, God can dismiss your case on the Day of Judgment. Flee from the wrath that is to come if you have not. Don't be arrogant and think you can argue against God. You can't. Please, please, humble yourself and repent and put your faith in Him. We would hate it for anyone to end up in Hell.
